The landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, brought the promise of integration to Little Rock, Arkansas, but it was hard-won for the nine Black teenagers chosen to integrate Central High School in 1957. They ran a gauntlet flanked by a rampaging mob and a heavily armed Arkansas National Guard-opposition so intense that soldiers from the elite 101st Airborne Division were called in to restore order.

Such a powerful story with engaging narration. Highly recommend this book. I was so impressed by the teenagers and their families as well. They all exhibited such deep faith and determination. The vileness of the racist hatred made me sick.
